CVE-2012-0507

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier, 6 Update 30 and
earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to
affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown
vectors related to Concurrency. NOTE: the previous information was
obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented
on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that
this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class
implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type,
which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or
bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this issue was originally
mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a
different issue.
